About this mod

A set of Remington recolors created with the intention to make his face look better. Additionally I modified his hair colour to story compliant lime-green and natural dark colour and also removed his war paint.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
For the recolors to work you need the latest version of Custom Textures installed.
Use UnityMod Manager to install “Custom Textures”.
 
Poor Remington: Not only affected by the barber mishap but also equipped with an absurdly elongated and oversized head plus a potato nose. Not every man
in Portia needs to be good looking – but his gnome like features make me shiver every time he bends over my builder.
Unluckily I cannot modify the mesh and reduce the size of head and nose, but nevertheless I tried to make Remington a bit better looking. This nice honest
guy deserved at least an attempt.
 
I know there exist already other good Remington Makeovers. This is just my personal interpretation I added.
 
What was done:
 
1) FACE:
 
I applied a lot of tiny tweaks on the texture of eyes, nose and mouth trying to cover up the worst distortions. The changes are not very obvious but
nevertheless I feel they shifted his features from the “weird” to the “interesting man” side.
 
2) HAIR:
 
The general opinion (Wiki et al) is his hair was dyed to a lime-green colour. In my game this is not true – it looks more like some ugly yellow
paint. So after checking on IRL examples I went for a better lime-green hue.
 
Version 1 is with all hair coloured lime-green.
 
But how many men do you know who dye really all of their facial hair simultaneously?
 
Version 2 is the more realistic situation: Lime-green hair but natural dark eyebrows and beard. This might fit better into a mishap scenario.
 
Most of us play far longer than one Portia year. Don´t you think Remingtons unhappy dye would have grown out by that time?
 
Version 3 is the one that gives him back what might have been his natural hair colour.
 
Is Remington really always on duty or does he at some times engage in a civil life?
 
Version 4 is Remington with his war paint removed.
 
I did all possible combinations of hair and brow colours and war paint on or off.
 
And finally: You think the vanilla hair colour was more to your liking than my lime-green hue? Especially for you I also included all above versions
with the original hair colour.
 
Installation Guide(also included as word document in the download folder):
 
1) For the recolors to work you need the latest version of Custom Textures installed.
Use UnityMod Manager to install “Custom Textures”.
 
2) Un-zip the download folder and keep it save somewhere outside the game folder.
In the download folder you will find subfolders which contain the different versions of Remingtons hair with or without war paint (the basic face
corrections are the same for all versions).
I also put some screenshots in so you can revisit them and make your choice.
 
3) Locate the folder called "assets" in the MTaP game folder.
If you are playing on steam, the path is: Steam\SteamApps\Common\Mytime at Portia\Mods\Custom Textures\assets 
If the folder “assets” is not yet there you have to create it.

5) Now copy the PNG file you want to use from its mod folder into the“assets” folder.
 
DONE!
HAVE FUN!
